5 Powerful Tricks To Easily Manage Your Gmail

Do you get a lot of emails? Do you need to reply to a lot of emails? Are you a busy person? Well, you need to organize your Gmail for better email management. If your inbox is a mess and you don’t manage it well then you might miss important emails and lose some potential clients.

We all use Gmail. It’s the most popular email client but there are some powerful Gmail tricks that we can use to easily manage Gmail accounts.

1. Use IFTTT recipes

IFTTT(If This Then That) can help you automate certain functions in your Gmail account like Save starred emails to Evernote, Get weather forecast emails, Get SMS on phone if a specific person emails, get an email when a new book is added to Kindle, Email yourself an MP3 copy of any new voicemail. Here are many other efficient GMail IFTTT recipes that you can use.

2. Mass Emailing

If you do mass emailing then you know it takes a lot of time. You send emails to your clients, routine follow ups, auto response, confirmation, letters, etc. That’s a lot of work.

However, you can save all this time and do mass emailing more efficiently on Gmail using a powerful Gmail app. Gmail apps offer many features like – you can send mail merge campaigns with automatic follow-ups. You can even personalize the email for each recipient, schedule them and track the open ups and clicks. It makes the marketing more efficient and productive. Connect your Gmail account to Google sheets. Send emails as replies to the last thread with each person.

3. Create Labels

Labels are an effective way to categorize the emails in your inbox. You can use several labels like work, travel, business, client, urgent, pending, etc. This will help you find the relevant email easily.

4. Merge Multiple Gmail Accounts

A lot of people have more than one Gmail account. I have a personal Gmail account, a business Gmail account and one that I created when I was in my college. So, if you also use multiple Gmail accounts then it would be difficult to manage all of them regularly.

The best solution here is to merge all your Gmail accounts into one. Don’t worry, you will still have the individual email addresses and email accounts. You won’t lose any of your existing email or contact. By merging them in one Gmail account you will be able to receive all the emails at one place and you can even reply to them from one place.

5. Unsubscribe from Unnecessary subscriptions

We get newsletters and emails from services that we don’t even remember subscribing to. They are not important or relevant in any way but they flood our inbox. So, it’s better to unsubscribe from these services. If they don’t let you unsubscribe then mute them or just report them to spam and from the next time those emails will go to the spam folder and you don’t have to worry about them.
